Harding Tapestry

This is my first attempt at writing a blog ( well, actually, it's my 3rd attempt...I lost the other 2 before i got them posted!) but after my weekend experience I just had to write about how wonderful it is to be a part of the Harding tapestry that covers the world! Tony Garcia, who live with us and is studying Performance Trombone, has his recitcal on Saturday night. One of his friends who came was Brian Neal from Cleveland, MS, the son of Bob Neal, with whom I used to ride to and from school with when I went to Harding. I still keep in touch with his grandmother occasionally. Another of his friends who came was Alice Ann Murrary, daughter of Lambert and Mackey Shields Murrary, whith whom Tim and I went to Harding with also and when I was at Ole Miss working on my MEd, her grandparents were very dear to me as well. then Sunday night the Belles and Beaux from Harding performed at Sycamore view. the director, Chuck Hicks, graduated with me from Harding and one of the guys who stayed with us, Matt Stidum, his dad sang with Belles and Beaux when Tim and I were there. The other guy who stayed with us was good freinds with Vivian Walker, my foremer suite mate and still very good friend with whom I get together several times a year. We also found out thawt several others in thr group had parents that we went to school with. It is just a comfort and joy to experience the warmth and connections that one feels throught experiences like this! Thank God for Harding!

I am so proud that you have a blog! I am also proud that I am the first to comment on this blog.

Harding Tapestry is the perfect way to describe it. It always gives me a sense of comfort to discover a new thread in the tapestry!
